If you're the proud owner of the HTC One Developer Edition, we have a bit of bad news coated in an amazingly sweet layer of great news. First the bad: the HTC One Developer Edition will not be updated to Android 4.2. Now the good: HTC has decided that the HTC One Developer Edition will be skipping Android 4.2 and jump to the Android 4.3 update. This bit of news comes directly from Jason Mackenzie, HTC's president of global sales. Apparently the decision was made because the Android 4.2 update "offered limited customer benefit" and "because 4.3 is so close."
Unfortunately, Mackenzie did not elaborate on how close the "so close" Android 4.3 update for the HTC One Developer Edition actually is. We're hoping it'll be here before the end of August since versions of the HTC One in Europe and Asia were updated to Android 4.2 about a month and a half a go. While the Verizon HTC One will be running on Android 4.2 when it hits store shelves later this week, there's still no indication as to when the AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile branded HTC Ones will receive the update. HTC could skip the update altogether and jump directly to 4.3, but we're sure that would take quite a bit longer since service provider software testing would push the update time back by another 2-3 months.
Would you rather wait a few more months get Android 4.3 on your US carrier branded HTC One or get Android 4.2 now and wait until the end of the year for the 4.3 update?
@jmwein we definitely care and want you to have great experience. 2.2 is minor update so decided to go straight to 4.3.
– Jason Mackenzie (@JasonMacHTC) August 17, 2013
@jmwein because 4.3 is so close. And 2.2 offered limited customer benefit.

SEATTLE (AP) — Had different decisions been made, David Ortiz could have spent his career with the club that first signed him, the Seattle Mariners.
Instead, Ortiz added the latest milestone to his career against Seattle on Wednesday night.
Ortiz doubled in his first at-bat off Seattle starter Aaron Harang to become baseball's all-time leader in hits as a designated hitter, then added a two-run homer an inning later in Boston's 11-4 victory over the Mariners.
Ortiz led the offensive charge that led to a miserable night for Harang, who barely made it through five innings. After Seattle held a 5-1 lead after two innings in Tuesday's game, the Red Sox have outscored the Mariners 21-7 in the following 16 innings.
"It wasn't a very good ballgame at all," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "We didn't play very well at all."
Coming off a strong start against Cincinnati, Harang was roughed up by the Red Sox bats. He gave up eight hits and seven runs, and was pitching from behind most of the night.
He also allowed Ortiz's record-setting double leading off the second inning that gave the Boston slugger 1,689 career hits as a DH, passing Harold Baines for the most all-time. An inning later, Ortiz hit his 19th homer of the season, a two-run shot that gave Boston a 4-0 lead.
Ortiz was acknowledged by a standing ovation from the mix of Red Sox and Mariners fans and appeared touched by the response, tipping his helmet twice toward the standing fans and patting his chest as the milestone was shown on the video board. Ortiz already held the marks for the most runs scored, doubles, home runs, extra-base hits and RBIs by a designated hitter.
"I've seen too much of him over the years," Wedge said. "He is about as professional a hitter as you can be. Still has the bat speed, still has the power, commands the strike zone as good as anybody in the game."
It was the third time this season Harang (4-8) has been knocked around for at least seven earned runs. He failed to strike out a batter for the first time all season and his three walks allowed were a season high.
"They made me work. I was falling behind in the county early on and you can't do that with a lineup like that. You have to try and get ahead early and I wasn't doing that," Harang said. "You start throwing more strikes over the plate and a veteran lineup like that, they're going to take advantage of that and make you work."
Boston broke the game open in the sixth and knocked out Harang after singles by Jose Iglesias and Brock Holt to open the inning. Jacoby Ellsbury and Shane Victorino both had RBI singles in the four-run inning that was helped along by a throwing error from Seattle shortstop Brad Miller.
Ellsbury extended his hitting streak to 18 games, the longest current streak in baseball.
Ortiz's milestone night overshadowed one of the best starts this season by Boston's Felix Doubront. With its bullpen taxed in the opening two games of the series, Doubront (6-3) provided the outing Boston needed to give its relievers a rest.
Doubront took a shutout into the seventh and silenced a Seattle offense that scored 19 runs against Boston pitching in the first two games of the series. He allowed only a pair of early singles, and a double to Michael Saunders — the first Seattle batter to reach second base — in the fifth.
Seattle finally got to Doubront in the seventh when Jason Bay led off with a double and scored on Henry Blanco's two-out single. But that was the extent of Seattle's offense against the lefty.
"We'll take a strong outing off a starting pitcher every night that we walk in here," Boston manager John Farrell said. "I think the biggest thing is he continued to put up zeroes after we scored runs and that kept the momentum on our side."
Seattle shortstop Brendan Ryan led off the eighth with a solo homer off Boston's Brandon Workman, making his major league debut. Seattle scored three times in the inning.
Notes: Ellsbury returned after missing the first two games of the series with a sore wrist. … Seattle RHP Stephen Pryor (60-day DL, lat muscle), threw a 25-pitch simulated game on Wednesday and will do the same on Saturday. Wedge said OFs Michael Morse (quad) and Franklin Gutierrez (hamstring) are not yet ready to go out on rehab assignments. … Farrell said RHP Alex Wilson, placed on the 15-day DL Tuesday, has joint inflammation in his thumb, but the injury is not as serious as first believed.

As part of Fred Perry's year-long celebration of the 100th anniversary of its namesake's birth, they continue their collaboration with designer Raf Simons, this time creating a small collection inspired by an outfit worn by Perry circa 1947. (Click here for a pic. Kinda sharp, no?)
The pieces look similar to the already-existing collab between Fred Perry and Raf Simons. There's a single-breasted jacket, baggy grey flannel pants, a white dress shirt, an ivory cable knit sweater, a grey tie (with maroon laurel detail), and a black and white brogue version of some ping pong shoes.

Trainee teachers score F all in maths tests
LibDems: Force unemployed city workers into the classroom
The LibDems have proposed that the government take advantage of mass layoffs in the City to boost the country's increasingly innumerate teaching profession.
The third party has uncovered government figures that show "increasing numbers of trainee teachers are having to resit basic maths tests" which are a pre-requisite for entry into the profession.
Since 2001, trainee teachers failed the maths test 20,000 times, with the average number of attempts needed to pass the test up by over a fifth since 2001. Sadly there's no indication as to whether these repeated fails actually prevented any of the mathematically-challenged candidates being let loose on a class of unformed minds.
Anyone thinking this simply demonstrates how the teaching profession is stuffed full of English graduates unable to get jobs as poets can think again. The average number of attempts to pass the literacy test for teachers was up 16 per cent.
Apparently, the number of applicants for teaching courses is on the rise. This could be due to the government jacking up spending on education and working hard to increase the status of the teaching professions.
Alternatively, those of us with memories long enough to remember the last serious economic contraction in the UK might suggest it's simply a rush by the newly unemployable towards one of the few professions seen as recession-proof.
The LibDems seem to be leaning towards the latter, with Shadow Children, Schools and Families Secretary David Laws declaring that existing minimum qualifications for teaching are too low.
"The economic slowdown should be used as an opportunity to promote teaching as a profession and attract top graduates in the same way as the TeachFirst programme has done on a smaller scale," says Laws.
Yes, that's right. We should draft the City's leftovers into the education system, presumably to teach maths, economics and geography.
That way, kids can learn that depending on how you slice the numbers two and two actually equal zero, because what you actually do is move the result off the balance sheet into the Caymans, thus avoiding corporation tax and capital gains. ®

Last Night on Late Night: David Letterman Snuck in a Kiss Onto Amy Poehler's Lips
Plus: A fidgety Lindsay Lohan in a wardrobe-malfunction-prone dress explained why she cancelled on Barbara Walters, and more, on our daily late-night roundup.
Last night on The Late Show, David Letterman, transparent Amy Poehler fanboy, snuck in a kiss right on her lips, and then forgot to show the Parks and Recreation clip. Plus: On The Tonight Show, Lindsay Lohan fidgeted her way in, out and around the cutouts of her drapey black dress as she discussed why she cancelled on Barbara Walters's 20/20 interview: "Um, you know, the timing isn't right right now. I love her. I'm a big fan of Barbara Walters ... and so when it's right she knows she'll be the first person I sit down with." After Leno, that is. As for any lingering beef between LiLo and Babs, "It's all good. I spoke to her people." Also, Miranda Cosgrove retired the iCarly "Random Dance" ahead of the final episode that airs this Friday, November 23; and Marion Cotillard and Craig Ferguson shared a few awkward and strange interview moments. Watch our compilation to see what you missed.

Beitzell is perplexed at the fact that the United States promotes freedom but does not allow freedom for many of its citizens who happen to be Negro. According to Beitzell, "What man in a Christian nation can trample on the rights of a citizen because of his race?"

Inspired by their story, and building on the best of their advertising, we crafted Verbal Design Principles to help them be upfront, remove the fluff, and bring in smart and timely humor when appropriate not just in advertising, but everywhere. To speak universally in a way that reflected something essential about E*TRADE — and was right for E*TRADE and

The connected age is the heyday of utility. From gadgets to apps, it's all about making it more useful, more efficient, faster, which often means building a digital interface through which we interact with a brand. But pure function, as activated by interface or otherwise, can be cold, inhuman , putting distance between people and the brands that seek to connect with them. But Verbal Design can change the picture, allowing humanity and utility to both coexist and strengthen each other.
While Verbal Design is a new practice at R/GA, we've always thought this way. Take Beats Music . Music is so personal, but streaming services tend to lack heart, because algorithms, not people , do all the work. Jimmy Iovine and Trent Reznor asked R/GA to bring curation by real people into the way we consume music today, to capture the beauty that the mixtape represented twenty years ago, when somebody carefully hand-picked songs just for you , because he or she knew you'd love them. So was born Beats Music, a beautifully human experience that hinged on a beautifully human verbal approach: "the sentence."
Because "the sentence" reflects the humanity of music, streaming became useful
human for the first time. And people went crazy for it: the app hit #1 on the iTunes music charts at launch on January 21, 2014, achieved 1.5 billion impressions on social media, and inspired a fan to create a Tumblr to share the best "sentences." Beats Music was so successful that it was acquired by Apple Music in April of 2014, and while the interface has evolved since, there's still a lot of love (and pining) for
nike roshe run camo men
While it wasn't called Verbal Design back then, that's exactly what it was. And it taught us that it's essential to develop language and experience in tandem, to ensure they reflect and support each other — and demonstrated what they, together, can do.V erbal Design is the only thing that's everywhere.

Upper and lower back pain when sleeping is a real drag—literally. It can sap your energy and leave you dreading another restless night. And your spine needs rest.
But getting the rest needed to get rid of lower back pain while sleeping can be quite the challenge. Some wake up with worse back pain in the morning than when they hit the sheets.
Many get caught up in a cycle where they desperately need a good night's sleep for their back to recover (not to mention for their general health), but are unable to do so because back pain is keeping them up at night.
Here are five steps that can help you straighten your back while sleeping and get rid of that lower back pain.
By equipment, we're talking the right mattress and pillow for you and your sleeping style and possibly a back brace for extra support while sleeping.
Your mattress should support the natural curves of your body while keeping you comfortable.
Up until recently, it was thought that those dealing with lower back pain in the morning should switch to a firmer mattress. But experts have moved away from that one-solution-fits-all thought process.
"A soft mattress can be good if your hips are wider than your waist because it will let your spine stay straight while you sleep. If your hips and waist already line up straight, a harder mattress might feel better because it will give you more support," according to WebMD.
Ultimately, you will need to spend some time trying out different mattresses to get the right fit. Many companies even allow you try out their product for a few weeks or even months and return it if the product is not right for you.
If you think a firmer mattress may help, you can try one out by sliding a sheet of plywood between your mattress and boxspring or moving your bed to the floor for a few nights.
Some other key considerations include the age of your mattress (these should be replaced every nine to 10 years), temperature management and whether it's big enough for you to get into a comfortable sleeping position.
Much like a mattress, a pillow should support the natural curve of your neck and keep it aligned with the chest and lower back while allowing you to get comfortable.

There's no "going back" in a channel swim. No parallel shoreline to offer a mental security blanket and visual stimulation. No (predictable) current to artificially speed your progress. No intermediate landmarks for last-minute course adjustments; the stated distance is your best-case scenario. The only escape from a channel swim is getting on the boat - and even then it might be an hour's ride to the closest shore.
So, starting a channel swim feels a bit like stepping into the abyss. That's almost literally true in the case of Catalina, where the ocean bottom drops off to nearly 3,000 feet within 4 miles.
Some people can swim through deep water without a second thought. I am not one of those people. No amount of rational thought can persuade my lizard brain that 20 feet of water is no different than 20,000 - I'm only swimming in the top 2-3 feet of it anyway.
This, for instance, is horrifying to me:
I know what you're thinking: Marathon swimming's a curious hobby for someone scared of deep water, right? But it's just an obstacle-to-be-overcome, like any other. If you're a slow swimmer, you can train harder or take stroke lessons. If you get hypothermic easily, you can eat peanut butter and ice cream.
How does one overcome a fear of deep water? I have a couple degrees in psychology, so I should probably know something about this stuff. Perhaps I should:
- Take up SCUBA diving, as a form of exposure therapy?
- Train myself to imagine swimming "through a pipe"?
- Try to address the underlying cause? Which in my case is probably my first swim lessons, when the instructor forced me to swim in the "deep end" of the pool. (When you're 3 years old, that shit will stick with you.)
Actually, I did none of these things. I still get creeped out by deep water, but I found a way to avoid thinking about it. I close my eyes. Seriously - I just close my eyes. I open them briefly for sighting, or to spot my paddler, but aside from that I keep 'em closed. The lack of visual stimulation allows me to focus on my stroke, my rhythm, the music in my head…. anything other than what the fuck was that down there?!?!
Again, I know what you're thinking: But then I won't be able to see the shark when it's coming up from below to eat me. That's true. On the other hand, if a shark is coming up from below, determined to eat me, there's not much I can do about it anyway. And in the meantime, I avoid seeing all the other stuff (real or imaginary) that I might think is a shark coming to eat me.
Anyway, it works. You know the end of the story: I finished my Catalina swim - and managed to maintain a zen-like calm all the way across. Score one for denial.

SHANGHAI (AP) — Japanese automakers promised special Chinese designs and green technology in addition to the usual flashy fanfare at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, trying to woo back sales that crumpled during a territorial dispute over East China Sea islands late last year.
China is the world's biggest auto market by number of vehicles sold and crucial to the growth plans of global automakers. Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota lost market share to U.S., South Korean and German rivals as their sales plummeted and now, even as tensions between Japan and China abate, they continue to languish.
The dispute over control of the Japanese-administered islands, called Diayo in China and Senkaku in Japan, set off riots in China and a boycott of Japanese cars. Sales of cars from Japanese manufacturers plunged at one point to half of what they were the previous year. Latest figures show sales of Japanese brands are still declining while other automakers push deeper into a market that analysts predict will have annual sales of 32 million vehicles by 2020 — the equivalent of the United States and Europe combined.
Japanese automakers suffered a 17.8 percent sales decline in March overall, while total vehicle sales in China surged 13.3 percent, according to Alec Gutierrez, senior analyst at Kelley Blue Book. "Until the territorial dispute is resolved, it appears as though Japanese automakers will continue to face challenges in the still growing Chinese market," he said.
Honda Motor Co. President Takanobu Ito said the automaker had gone through anti-Japanese sentiment in the U.S. during "Japan-bashing" in the late 1980s, but Honda had earned its place in the U.S. by bringing Americans on board as developers and assembly line workers.
"It's not that all Chinese people dislike our cars," he told reporters at the show's media preview on Saturday.
"There is no mistake that we want to contribute to Chinese society," he said. "We just have to keep at it."
The show, in a sprawling exhibition center, opened to the public Sunday and runs until April 29.
Nissan Motor Co., whose March sales were down nearly 17 percent from last year, has been wooing buyers back with a warranty on cars that get smashed by rioters. It fixed or replaced for free the dozens of cars that got damaged in riots last year. Since then, it has not had to exercise the warranty.
Nissan, which also makes Infiniti luxury models, says it is serious about building its presence in China, and has invested in developing the Venucia lineup of cars aimed at the tastes and budgets of cost-conscious buyers. It also stressed Chinese participation in development of the brand, a priority for Beijing which wants its own automakers to grow into global names.
While some makers have slapped together a brand customized for China, Nissan said it had taken great care and is touting Venucia as the most successful of a slew of new models introduced by automakers to target the economy market.
Nissan design chief and senior vice president Shiro Nakamura acknowledged China sales should be growing, not just returning to the previous year's levels. He stressed that Nissan can't afford to lose in China.
In contrast to developed countries, China's potential remains vast even if the growth of overall sales has slowed from 2009 when it reached a heady 45 percent. For every 1,000 people, car ownership is at 800 people in the U.S. and 600 in Europe and Japan, but a mere 50 in China.
Big business is expected in what are called second and third-tier cities, less developed than Beijing or Shanghai, and where people are just starting to think about owning cars as incomes rise.
Winning in the Chinese market is likely to depend on other factors as well, such as the strength of dealerships, the appeal of model lineups and the management of recalls, analysts say. The Japanese must overcome their current sales difficulties and also deal with tough competition from European and U.S. rivals.
Volkswagen AG of Germany, the biggest selling automaker in China, is investing 9.8 billion euros ($12.7 billion) through 2015 in its China business, mostly for fuel-efficient vehicles, and had pianist Lang Lang and Hollywood star Keanu Reeves at a gala event Friday evening to woo Chinese buyers.
Namrita Chow, senior analyst at IHS Automotive in Shanghai, said U.S. automaker Ford Motor Co. and Hyundai Motor Co. of South Korea were best able to take advantage of Japanese sales woes and increased market share in China.
Toyota Motor Corp., whose March sales in China were down 12 percent from a year earlier, is hoping to win over China with its gas-electric hybrids, a technology it pioneered with the Prius.
China is increasingly concerned about energy efficiency and pollution, and Toyota is hopeful that hybrids will catch on with Chinese buyers. Rapid growth in car sales has left Beijing, Shanghai and other major cities choked on traffic and smog.
By the end of 2015, or early 2016, Toyota is planning to start selling two hybrid models in China, developed by a special team for the Chinese market, in which the core part of the hybrid system will be totally made in China.
Tadashi Yamashina, Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (China) Co. President, acknowledged the company was taking a risk with pushing hybrids in China where such vehicles are currently a tiny proportion of sales. But he believes the technology is well suited for the country as long as it is affordable. Toyota did not give sales prices or production numbers for the planned models.
"The era of hybrids is almost certain to come. It has taken off in the rest of the world," he said. "Besides, it will be good for China."

Ferrari willing to take risks in development race
- Race:
- Korean Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Fernando Alonso
- |
- Felipe Massa
- Teams:
- Ferrari
Ferrari technical director Pat Fry is willing to take risks to try to boost Fernando Alonso's chances of holding on to his slim lead in the drivers' championship over the final five races.
Ferrari appears to have fallen off the development pace of its rivals at recent races and has admitted to problems with data correlation between its wind tunnel and the track. In Singapore the team's new high-downforce rear wing did not work as expected, but Fry believes the F2012's race pace in Japan, where Felipe Massa finished second, indicates the car is only just off the pace of McLaren with four small updates set for this weekend's race in Korea.
"Our race pace was a little better than in qualifying in Japan, where we were unfortunate with Fernando and the yellow flags," Fry told Ferrari's website. "We are currently closer to McLaren but there's still a gap to Red Bull, so we need to keep working on car development.
"I think looking back at recent races, we have been bringing small updates to every race, even if we made a few small errors in Singapore, but we worked out what they were and sorted them out in time for Japan. When you have a constant drive for performance, you need to take some risks and there will be four small updates on the car in Korea, with more significant changes in the races after that.
"Overall for the last five races, we need to stay calm and ensure that everything we do counts. There's more to come, even if we have a way to go to catch up. But we are never going to give up and we'll be trying all the way to Brazil."
Fry is confident Ferrari can be competitive this weekend in Korea as Pirelli brings its two softest tyre compounds to the race.
"In Korea we will be running Pirelli's soft and super-soft tyres, with which we have usually been successful in finding a good balance on the car," he said. "So we can expect to have another good race, although how competitive we are will depend on how each team has progressed with the development of its car.
"One also has to factor in the way some circuits are better suited to certain cars than others. Throughout this season, no real pattern has emerged to help predict who will be quick where: recently McLaren put together a string of three very strong races, but in Suzuka, we were a match for them, while Red Bull always seem to go well in Japan."

2012 Mitsubishi Outlander Values
Select a 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander trim level
2012 model year changes
The 2-wheel drive XLS trim disappears, but for 2012, the Outlander gets GT trim in both 2- and 4-wheel drive with HID headlamps, mirror-integrated turn signals, rain-sensing wipers, aluminum pedals and automatic climate control. Roof rails and mesh grille are now standard across the lineup.
Competitive comparison
Quality interior; available all-wheel drive; family-oriented practicality
Special features for 2012
The Mitsubishi Outlander offers a lot of features for its price point and gives its Kia Sorento rival a run for its money. Gas mileage is pretty good too, with the base-level ES turning in 21 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway. Even the 7-passenger SE equipped with all-wheel drive gets 18 mpg in the city and 24 on the highway. As a "crossover," the Outlander blurs the line between sporty handling and sport utility. The 4-cylinder engine is aimed at drivers who want sporty styling along with great fuel economy, while the V6 has significantly more horsepower for spirited driving. The GT trim's Super-All-Wheel Drive Control system is derived from the high-performance system on stable-mate Lancer Evolution.
The 2012 Mitsubishi Outlander is an SUV powered by a standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 168 hp and 167 lb-ft of torque. For additional power Mitsubishi offers an optional 3.0-liter V6 engine that produces 230 hp and 215 lb-ft of torque. The Outlander comes standard with FWD and a CVT transmission, however drivetrain/transmission can be upgraded to AWD and a six-speed automatic transmission. Fuel mileage falls within an EPA estimated range of 19 mpg city to 28 mpg highway, depending on engine selection . Features include magnesium paddle shifters, aluminum roof, 18-inch wheels, LED taillights, HID projector headlamps, heated leather seats, flap-fold tailgate, and navigation. Safety is comprised of active stability control, anti-lock brake system, and six standard airbags. The Outlander is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.

Campus Life
Fratsgiving: A Disaster Waiting to Happen
Imagine what nightmare Thanksgiving would become if dinner were hosted by your favorite fraternity men and not your darling little grandmother. Fratsgiving would be nothing less than a sticky, intoxicated, nightmare of a celebration guaranteed to make your family doubt your ability to make good choices. If that description wasn't enough to send chills down your spine, The Black Sheep is here to help you better understand what would happen if a frat party met Thanksgiving dinner:
A pilgrims and Indians theme:
Greeks love a good costume party, so it's only natural that frat Thanksgiving would turn into a poorly thought-out themed gathering. In true, unoriginal, frat boy fashion, pilgrims and Indians is obviously the theme that would be chosen. Unfortunately, female guests would be challenged to find some ungodly way to show a little skin in their 17th century outfits. We suggest turning a traditional Native American garb into a micro minidress for a costume with both comfort and class.
Four Lokos served with the main course:
Just because Thanksgiving is a national holiday doesn't mean that frat guys would be willing to pick their head up off of the bottom shelf at the liquor store to splurge on some tolerable booze. Nope, expect only crappy alcohol to be served. Think Natty Light to start off the evening, followed by your choice of gold or fruit punch Four Loko with the entree.
Fraternity chants in place of grace:
Picture this: instead of grandpa choking out the words to the blessing before dinner you're serenaded by overly-confident fraternity men professing their love to letters that will mean nothing to them in four years. Mom and dad would be delighted to hear all of the raunchy things these men do to their innocent daughter before consuming a lovely meal and enjoying time with family.
Dinner music courtesy of a shitty DJ:
There's always that one kid in the frat that aspires to be the greatest no-name EDM DJ of all time. He sweats profusely and gets way too wrapped-up in his duties to provide the party with an array of over-played trap song remixes. If his frat hosted your Thanksgiving dinner you best believe that your meal would be accompanied by an extremely original EDM remix of "Closer" or some throwback Kanye. If you're lucky he might even bring his low-quality strobe lights to further set the mood.
Bonging beers for dessert:
Forget the delectable, scrumptious pumpkin and apple pies that everyone salivates over on Thanksgiving. Frat boys can't bake a strudel as mean mom can, so on their menu for dessert would be an ice cold Natty Light delicately placed into a beer bong for you to thrust down your throat without vomiting. You will find a new love and appreciation for your family this holiday once you witness your 80-year-old grandmother funneling a beer faster than you can.
Fratsgiving dinner would be a mildly disturbing scene and an event that even the most extra sorority girl couldn't bear to endure. This holiday, be thankful for the fact that you are in a social setting that doesn't involve a diseased fraternity house and the only guy that wants to thrust his body into your mouth is Tom the 15 pound turkey that Aunt Ellen is cooking up.
Something so bad, 12 beers later, is so, so good.

Ladders and Steps
Having the right swimming pool accessories, can transform your swimming pool from a basic backyard spot into a true water oasis. One of the biggest misconceptions about swimming pool accessories is, they are nothing more than required maintenance parts, such as pumps, filters, vacuums, and heaters. However, the following can be included as accessories as well, pool ladders, steps to diving boards and floatation devices. Putting in some basic pool accessories can make your pool safer and more enjoyable.

These floor mats are perfect. They are thin without sacrificing strength and durability. The cover more area than the OEM floor mats. They look far better than the OEM all-weather floor mats (I got mine in gray instead of black). They fit perfectly. Best of all, they are less expensive than those other custom floor mats. Plus, I like the hexagonal design.

Mystacina tuberculata
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Mystacina tuberculata Gray, 1843
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|There are three subspecies and five evolutionary significant units (ESUs) recognized by the New Zealand Bat Recovery Group and the New Zealand Department of Conservation (Lloyd 2003a, b; Hitchmough et al. 2007).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable B1ab(i,ii,iii,iv,v)+2ab(i,ii,iii,iv,v) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|O'Donnell, C.
|Lamoreux, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team), Racey, P.A., Medellín, R. & Hutson, A.M. (Chiroptera Red List Authority)
Listed as Vulnerable, because its extent of occurrence is less than 20,000 km2 and the area of occupancy is less than 2,000 km2, the population is severely fragmented, and there is a continuing decline in: the extent of occurrence, area of occupancy, quality of habitat, number of locations and subpopulations, and the number of mature individuals. Additionally, further research is needed to determine whether or not the area of occupancy is <500 km2, which would qualify this species as Endangered under criterion B2.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|New Zealand lesser short-tailed bat is endemic to New Zealand where it was once widespread on North Island and South Island. It now occupies less than 30% of its historical geographic range (C. O'Donnell pers. comm.). The species is currently distributed on North Island in the Omahuta-Puketi Forest, the Waipoua and Warawara Forests, and throughout tracts of indigenous forest remnants ranging from Taranaki to East Cape and south to the Tararuas (Lloyd 2001, 2005). On South Island, populations are known from the Oparara Basin and Eglinton Valley, with calls recorded from Punakaiki (Lloyd 2001, 2005) and the Dart Valley (B. Lawrence pers. comm.). Large populations of this species are also present on the offshore islands of Little Barrier Island and Codfish Island (Lloyd 2001, 2005). Lesser short-tailed bats range from close to sea level to the upper altitudinal limits of forest cover (Lloyd 2001, 2005).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:New Zealand (North Is., South Is.)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|Large numbers have been recorded in undamaged old-growth forest (Lloyd 2001, 2005). The largest colonial roost recorded consisted of >6,000 animals (Lloyd 2005). The overall population of lesser short-tailed bats probably exceeds 30,000 individuals with several populations containing more than 1,000 bats (Lloyd 2005).
The geographic ranges of the colonies are c.150 km2 a piece, and only about a dozen subpopulations are known (O'Donnell et al. 1999; Christie 2003; Lloyd 2005). Within these, the range of the 'irreplaceable colonial breeding sites' are much smaller (17 ha in one study; Christie 2003). Colonial breeding trees per colony number only 20-30 and they have very specific physical and microhabitat charcteristics, which are now very rare in New Zealand forests because of the history of logging (Sedgeley 2003, 2006).
The central North Island populations are large, but they are fragmented and we have little understanding of current trends there. Two of the three subpopulations that are being studied continue to decline (i.e., Oparara and Tararua). In fact, the Oparara bats (only 1 of 2 subpopulations in South Island) have not been detected for a few years now, despite considerable survey effort.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Lesser short-tailed bats are associated with old-growth temperate forest, with large trees available for colonial roosts, abundant epiphytes and deep leaf-litter (Lloyd 2005). Colonial breeding trees per colony number only 20-30 and they have very specific physical and microhabitat charcteristics, which are now very rare in New Zealand forests because of the history of logging (Sedgeley 2003, 2006). The species has been recorded at low numbers in logged forest, shrubland, pine plantations, and farmland in areas adjacent to undamaged old-growth forest (Lloyd 2005). Although the species primarily roosts in tree cavities, there are records of the species using caves for roosting (Lloyd 2005).
It is primarily insectivorous but also comsumes nectar, pollen, and fruit (Lloyd 2005). Lesser short-tailed bats undergo periods of torpor and seasonal hibernation (Lloyd 2005). The species is thought to undertake a lek mating system, but this has yet to be proven (C. O'Donnell pers. comm.). Females annually give birth to a single young (Lloyd 2001, 2005).
|Congregatory (and dispersive)
|Major Threat(s):
Old-growth roost trees are very important to the species. Lesser short-tailed bats are thought to have declined through forest clearance following human settlement of New Zealand.
Predation by introduced stoats and rats has also been, and continues to be, a major threat to this species. This is evident from the increase in bats on Codfish Island following the removal of Pacific rats, as well as increases in the Eglinton Valley following the initiation of comprehensive rat and stoat control. Stoats and rats are also known to visit colonial roosts, and are suspected as the reason for the critical status of the Tararua, Oparara, and Northland subpopulations in areas where no logging has occurred. Furthermore, these bats disappeared from the southern Titi Islands when ship rats were introduced.
Populations of this species also appear to be minimally impacted by poisoning through consumption of bait distributed in New Zealand forests to control invasive vertebrate species, and also through secondary poisoning resulting from consumption of invertebrates that have fed on poisoned bait (Lloyd 2005).
|Conservation Actions:
Mystacina tuberculata is protected by New Zealand's Wildlife Act of 1953. Conservation is occurring using guidance from a national Bat Recovery Plan (Molloy 1995), with on-going assessments and annual work plans being co-ordinated by the national Bat Recovery Group. Management includes eradications of introduced predators from offshore islands (rats have already been eliminated from islands containing two large offshore populations), predator control at mainland sites (this is just beginning), habitat protection, trial translocations to new habitats, and general advocacy. This species occurs in a number of protected areas. More research is needed to determine the area of occupancy for the species.
There are three subspecies and five evolutionary significant units (ESUs) recognised by the New Zealand Bat Recovery Group and the New Zealand Department of Conservation (Lloyd 2003a,b). The national (non-IUCN) listings for these populations are as follows (Hitchmough et al. 2007):
Northern lesser short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata aupourica, nationally endangered
Eastern lesser short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata rhyacobia, at risk
North-western lesser short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata rhyacobia, at risk
Southern North Island lesser short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata tuberculata, nationally critical
South Island lesser short-tailed bat Mystacina tuberculata tuberculata, nationally endangered
Fortunately, the population of Mystacina tuberculata rhyacobia on the central North Island is much bigger than originally thought. Other populations, however, cannot be considered secure such as northern and southern subspecies (C. O'Donnell pers. comm.).

The Egyptian Alternative - Volume II
This book is a clarion call for revolution in the way breeders view, and breed, Egyptian Arabian Horses. In Volume I of 'The Egyptian Alternative' Philippe Paraskevas challenged many current notions about breeding and horse showing practices, his primary concern being to safeguard the future of the Egyptian Arabian horse.
In his Search for the identity of the Egyptian Arabian Bloodlines, Paraskevas examines in great detail the E.A.O. bloodpool - its different strains and sire lines, its antecedents and potential. He delves into the complexities of reading pedigrees, describing strains, sub-strains and horse families as well as the benefits of preservation breeding and outcrossing. This is a breeder's guide to the detailed genealogies of different strains as this writer chooses to read the vertical charts.
The author takes a critical look at the effect of the fragmentation of what once was simply the Desert Arabian into a multitude of sub-categories as defined by a variety of associations of breeders. He defines the principles and plan of action required to ensure the rebirth of the Desert Arabian and gives us hope that there is still a way forward.

|Natural Product Celastrol Destabilizes Tubulin Heterodimer and Facilitates Mitotic Cell Death Triggered by Microtubule-Targeting Anti-Cancer Drugs

|Jo, Hakryul, Fabien Xavier Loison, Hidenori Hattori, Leslie E. Silberstein, Hongtao Yu, and Hongbo Luo. 2010. Natural product celastrol destabilizes tubulin heterodimer and facilitates mitotic cell death triggered by microtubule-targeting anti-cancer drugs. PLoS ONE 5(4): e10318.
|Full Text & Related Files:

|Background: Microtubule drugs are effective anti-cancer agents, primarily due to their ability to induce mitotic arrest and subsequent cell death. However, some cancer cells are intrinsically resistant or acquire a resistance. Lack of apoptosis following mitotic arrest is thought to contribute to drug resistance that limits the efficacy of the microtubule-targeting anti-cancer drugs. Genetic or pharmacological agents that selectively facilitate the apoptosis of mitotic arrested cells present opportunities to strengthen the therapeutic efficacy. Methodology and Principal Findings: We report a natural product Celastrol targets tubulin and facilitates mitotic cell death caused by microtubule drugs. First, in a small molecule screening effort, we identify Celastrol as an inhibitor of neutrophil chemotaxis. Subsequent time-lapse imaging analyses reveal that inhibition of microtubule-mediated cellular processes, including cell migration and mitotic chromosome alignment, is the earliest events affected by Celastrol. Disorganization, not depolymerization, of mitotic spindles appears responsible for mitotic defects. Celastrol directly affects the biochemical properties of tubulin heterodimer in vitro and reduces its protein level in vivo. At the cellular level, Celastrol induces a synergistic apoptosis when combined with conventional microtubule-targeting drugs and manifests an efficacy toward Taxol-resistant cancer cells. Finally, by time-lapse imaging and tracking of microtubule drug-treated cells, we show that Celastrol preferentially induces apoptosis of mitotic arrested cells in a caspase-dependent manner. This selective effect is not due to inhibition of general cell survival pathways or mitotic kinases that have been shown to enhance microtubule drug-induced cell death. Conclusions and Significance: We provide evidence for new cellular pathways that, when perturbed, selectively induce the apoptosis of mitotic arrested cancer cells, identifying a potential new strategy to enhance the therapeutic efficacy of conventional microtubule-targeting anti-cancer drugs.

Grandma's Cookie Production Company
Lesson 3 of 13
Objective: Students will be able to use the concept that the division sign means "put into sets of" and solve problems by predicting the number of sets from skip counting.
Big Idea: Children need to understand the two types of division, sharing and measuring/grouping. This lesson will allow them to explore strategies to solve for quotients using manipulatives.
To warm the students up for a our math lesson, I have chosen a new math game called "I Have, Who Has. This game is similar to the "I Have, Who Has" multiplication game that my students enjoy, but using arrays instead of multiplication facts. I made this choice deliberately, as the students really need to be versed in multiplication and division being operations that are linked together. I think that the use of arrays is ideal for this development.
I am hoping that through today's lesson, many students will begin to understand that using their knowledge of equal groups in multiplication can help them solve division problems, as division essentially "undoes" multiplication.
Resources (1)
Resources (1)
My class has already heard and done an activity using the book "When the Doorbell Rang" by Pat Hutchins. The students worked in that lesson to figure out how many cookies each number of visitors would get, assuming the total number cookies changes from that of the books.
Today, I want to have them work as a "Production Company" for Grandma's Famous Cookies. In this lesson, the students will be given different total numbers of cookies needed to be produced, based on the number of orders placed.
I gather the students to the common area and we review what happened in the book, as more and more visitors came. The book ends with Grandma showing up with a huge tray of cookies, but the author doesn't tell us how many are on the tray. This is where I will give them the idea of a cookie production company.
I know that many of my students are counting out by ones, or dealing, in order to make equal groups. Others are using skip counting or known multiplication problems to divide. This is fine, as the activity provides access/practice for all methods.
Students, I think we need a Production Company for Grandma's Cookies! I think the grandchildren could sell sets, or packages, of these cookies. Our task today will be to help them create packages for the number of orders each day.
Here, ask this question to get the students ready to think about the task.
What do we know about the number of items in a package? (They have equal number of items in each.)
Let's use these cubes as representations of cookies and these paper cups as the packages. What if we sell the cookies 5 per package?
How many cookies would we need to fill an order of 3 packages? Model the sorting and then the idea of using equal groups.
How many packages could we make if we had 25 cookies made already? Again, model the sorting and then the idea of using equal groups.
Pass out the "order" sheet and explain the task for the partners.
Resources (2)
Active Engagement
As I send students off, I make sure they are working with partners with like, or close to, understanding of division concepts based on the journal entries from the prior lesson. I included five different strategy examples in the Reflection: How to Choose.
I have everyone begin with the same task, as I want to make sure that everyone has a deep understanding of each step. It is easy as teachers, at times, to think that if a student answers something correctly, that they understand the concept.
Resources (8)
Sharing and Closure
I ask students to assume that cookies are packaged 6 to a bag. I then ask them to write a story about their family ordering some cookies from Grandma. I will leave it as open as that and ask the students to later share what they wrote.
In doing this, the lesson is brought to a close with me knowing that the students can apply today's work to a real world concept…their family placing an order that will allow everyone to get the equal amount of cookies.
When the students share with one another, their discussion about whether they agree or disagree with the stories will be another way for me to check understanding.

Coalition Efforts
21st Century Skills Map: The Arts
The Partnership for 21st Century Skills (P21), has collaborated with several national associations to create a 21st Century Skills Map for the Arts, which demonstrates how an arts curriculum can promote 21st century knowledge and acquisition of critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity skills. These skills, also referred to as the four Cs, were identified in a recent survey by the American Management Association as essential workforce preparation for future growth of the U.S. economy. The arts skills map is P21's fifth core content map and it is hoped that the examples can serve as an inspirational model for educators. A companion resource, Supporting Structures For Arts Education in the 21st Century, provides further information about 21st century standards, arts education assessment, curriculum and instruction, professional development, and learning environments for arts education.
Arts Education: Creating Student Success in School, Work, and Life
A group of the largest national education associations have joined ranks with the arts community to ask for better arts education opportunities in our nation's schools. The messages outlined in Arts Education: Creating Student Success in School, Work, and Life will directly communicate the benefits of arts education to policymakers as they are expected to re-write the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) this year. As this unified statement-in-progress demonstrates, there is strength in numbers and value in partnering with common stakeholders. Consider mining this statement for talking points your orchestra can use immediately in local advocacy that supports music education in your schools. Also, review the list of national signatories and consider their local members as potential partners in your education advocacy efforts. Arts education advocates are currently advancing specific legislative recommendations as Congress re-writes the Elementary and Secondary Education Act.
Arts Education for America's Students: A Shared Endeavor
The League, in partnership with 12 national arts and education organizations, has released Arts Education for America's Students, A Shared Endeavor, a statement outlining the importance of high quality arts education and those responsible for providing it to students. A Shared Endeavor articulates the purpose and value of art education in the balanced curriculum of all students, asserts its place as a core academic subject area, and details how sequential arts learning can be supported by rigorous national standards and assessments. The statement, created over a 12-month period by the endorsing organizations, calls on organizations and individuals to actively support and promote:
- Policies and resources for arts education.
- Access to arts education for all students.
- Collaboration between school-based arts educators, other subject area teachers, community-based artists, and arts educators.
- Long-term advocacy partnership between all providers of arts education.
We encourage you to read this document and its companion diagram that places students at the center of arts education and consider it a tool to help prompt dialogue and engagement with community arts education leaders in a conversation about how students in your community access arts education, beginning with these questions:
- Do students have access to arts education in your community's schools?
- How do community-based arts educators, including your orchestra, connect with learning taking place in your community's schools?
- How do teachers connect the learning in their classrooms to learning in the arts? How can you support them in that endeavor?
- Where do you have strong supports for arts education at your school? What does your state require your schools to do?
Arts Education Partnership
The Arts Education Partnership (AEP) is a rich source of research about the importance of arts education. The League is a member of the AEP steering committee. The total Partnership includes more than 140 national arts, education, business, philanthropic, and government organizations.
National Association for Music Education
MENC is among the world's largest arts education organizations, and addresses all aspects of music education. Through membership of more than 75,000 active, retired, and preservice music teachers. MENC provides resources to educators, students and education advocates.
The League is an active member of this national coalition, dedicated to increasing music education opportunities for all learners. Supported by MENC: The National Association for Music Education and NAMM, the International Music Products Association, supportmusic.com invites you to plug in the challenges to music education in your community, and generates the arguments you can use to address them. Newly available is the SupportMusic Community Action Kit, which provides tools for music education advocacy.
Whole Child Partnership
The League is a partner of the Whole Child campaign – a public campaign to redefine what it means to be well educated for the 21st century. This campaign calls on parents, educators, policymakers, and communities to join forces to ensure that children receive an education that emphasizes academic rigor as well as the essential 21st-century skills of critical thinking and creativity. Further information about the Whole Child campaign and an opportunity to sign a petition of support is available online.
